It will be interesting to discover if there will be another hold-up with Customs quarantining the cars for weeks due to the great Baltimore spider invasion.
If so Pt Kembla and Melb' will probably get the same delays.
Tortugas has finally left Pt Brisbane, currently off Stradbroke Island on its way to Pt Kembla.

They also tend to be blinded by their own Egos - not bothering to check on details, like falsely assuming the Active Exhaust is exclusive to the Dark Horse (also Standard on the GT), and failing to recognise our "Export" GT comes standard with the "Performance Pkg" - which gives it identical...
